Chapter 849: Undercurrent
Land of Rice Fields’s Daimyo’s mansion.
In a spacious and simple quiet room, Orochimaru, Uchiha Shin, Shinno, and Iwagakure’s Shinobi, who owns Kekkei Genkai, are sitting on tatami mats, enjoying delicious cuisine.
Two years ago, Orochimaru took Uchiha Shinand left Otogakure to find Hiruko. It didn’t take long for Kanpū to dig out his nest in Otogakure. After that, Minato sent Anbu into Otogakure, uprooting Orochimaru's people without mercy. Even the birds and beasts were not spared!
Later, Minato, in his capacity as the Hokage, wrote a letter to the Land of Rice Fields’ Daimyo, subtly warning him not to collude with Orochimaru anymore, or else he would bear the consequences!
But unfortunately, the Land of Rice Fields’ Daimyo has long been replaced by Orochimaru’s subordinate. Therefore, the letter written by Minato was destined to be useless.
So, a year later, when Konoha lifted its surveillance on Otogakure, Land of Rice Fields’ Daimyo quietly arranged Orochimaru's subordinates to return to Otogakure one by one. And now, Otogakure has returned to Orochimaru’s embrace!
At this moment, Land of Rice Fields’ Daimyo was half kneeling in front of Orochimaru, reporting the latest information from neighboring countries in a low voice: “Orochimaru-sama, according to the intelligence from the black market, the younger brother of Yondaime Raikage Killer B, has gone missing. Kumogakure suspects that he was kidnapped by Konoha, so Yondaime Raikage personally led an army of Kumogakure’s Shinobi to occupy Yugakure and threatened to break into Konoha to rescue Killer B. However, for some reason, they haven't taken any action in the past few days.”
Orochimaru furrowed his brows slightly as he swallowed a piece of egg: ‘Killer B… That guy is Hachibi’s Jinchuriki, and he's also a Jinchuriki who can control perfectly control his Biju.
‘To be able to silently capture him… Could it be Akatsuki?’
